    Of the 31 starting QBs in Saints history, only six weren't drafted. Who were the six?

    hint 1: they started a combined 102 games for the Saints

    hint 2: none of them played for a university that was in a major conference

    only six universities have produced more than one QB that started for the Saints. who were the six universities?

    hint 1: three of them were mentioned above / are in the SEC

    hint 2: each of the six universities turned out two QBs that started for the Saints

    hint 3: each of the six universities is in a major conference

    at least 3 starting Saints QBs went on to both be named to the Pro Bowl and lead their teams to the Super Bowl after playing for the Saints. who were they?

    Delhomme?

    I know he wasn't a "traditional" starter, but I seem to recall from the dark days of Aaron Brooks that Brooks got hurt and Jake stepped in and led the team fairly well for a while.

    Archie, but here's an asterisk; Dave Wilson was a supplemental draft pick in '81, when the Saints had the overall number one pick. They selected him, giving up their number one in '82 to make the pick. But because the Saints had the first option and selected him, he was technically a supplemental number one overall.

    Ole Miss - Archie and John Fourcade
    'Bama - Stabler, Richard Todd
    Tennessee - Bobby Scott, Heath Shuler
    Virginia - Aaron Brooks, Gary Cuozzo
    Purdue - Drew Brees, Jim Everett
    Washington - Billy Joe Hobert, Mark Brunell

    Should I be proud or disturbed that I did that from memory?

    Good questions; I'll have to put some thought into the undrafted QB's question.

    this was in the paper: Pierre Thomas is one of the four Saints with at least 2,500 rushing yards and 1,500 receiving yards. Who were the other 3?

    hint: here were their career totals for the Saints:

    2865 rushing / 2221 receiving - ?????
    2974 rushing / 1717 receiving - Pierre Thomas
    4164 rushing / 2233 receiving- ?????
    6096 rushing / 1720 receiving - ?????
